I actually built this car in 2007, it was totally gutted to a shell and painted. It was actually a GTA but I put a 427 with a 3 duce in it first @ 12 to one compression with a 4 speed. Then a a 4v on that motor for a little while, had to run race fuel 110 octane at that time. So I then put a 428 in it all hopped up as well but at 10 to 1 compression with the aluminum heads. Still was tuned for high octane but I could run pump gas as well. I'm very surprised he didn't show the motor in this vid. And unlike he said in the vid, the car never hesitated in first gear, in fact you could launch the front tires off the ground if you knew the car. He probably also had pump gas in it. I sold it to a friend for cheaper than it was worth, knowing he was going to sell it, this guy must have got it from him to really mark it up. When I first got it done It won many shows as it was supper clean no matter where you looked. It had 69 High back bucket seats in it when sold with the red trim line on black vinyl like the 69 mustang even though I had the original seats, but they didn't have a seal lock and a little less safe. I also built this car to look like a ten year old car like a used car a kid like myself had in the 70s. I did drive that car and ran it hard because thats what it was built for, not a trailer queen for me.
@Littleblockfox 90 I used the 1966 factory red that was what the car originally was. When I got it they started to paint it Highland Green, but when I decoded what the car was I think it was called Candy Appel Red in 66. Look at the Ford Fairlane color options for 66 to make sure thats right. It's not Rangoon Red on earlier cars, it's brighter than that. Interesting though when I ordered the paint, it had a Chevy color code as well. Looks like I'm right paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi?manuf=Ford&model=Fairlane&year=1966
@Littleblockfox 90 BTW, I still have nice Grills, Grill bars one pair NOS, headlight frames and buckets, Tail light lenses and frames, 66 side view mirrors. Lots of trim stuff and ford parts, and performance engine parts. Send me a privet message if you need that stuff, gut the car paint it and put clean trim on it.
It came with a 4 on the floor and that's the way that car needs to be setup. It needs the long, hearty gears capable of handling the torque without grenading.
@@lynndempsey4096 Well I guess you like going down the highway at 3500 RPM doing 60. I've been there in a vintage muscle car. After the 5-Speed I'm doing 2500 RPM at 75 MPH. And I can drive it anywhere.
@@asmongoldsmouth9839 There's no advantage to keeping the 4-Speed in a driver. There are plenty of 5-speeds and 6 speeds that can take more power bolt right up and make that car capable of driving anywhere. There are fuel injection systems that go in place of the carburetor and mix the air/fuel better and literally extend the life of the engine tens of thousands of miles. Those FI systems are virtually invisible in an old car under the air cleaner. I get if you want a pure vintage garage queen/show car. But if you drive it seriously go overdrive and fuel injection.
ford only used this style for 2 years 66 and 67 then they changed it again stupid move they coulda kept this body style for 4 vor 5 years stuffed it full of high performance parts and sold 20 million more the 68 and on fairlanes and torinos sucked horribly but then so did mary beth
xpipe and 428 so somebody likes chevy but built a ford. H-pipes on fords and too much RPM in the cam setup. Pretty but poorly designed. The 390 was 500HP with a header change on the 66 Yawn to a 12 sec stock car?
Best looking car Ford ever made.
I have 3 1966 Fairlanes. Needless to say I agree that it’s the best looking Ford ever made.
Well said.
Love those fairlanes and galaxies
WISH IT WAS MINE THATS ALL I CAN SAY ,MAN THATS A SWEET RIDE
To whoever bought this car, KEEP IT! This one will race to $50-60.000 very quickly
My Dream car for sure OMG.. listen to that CAM

I have one just like it, except mine has the 390 w 427 heads, GT hood , mother thumper cam, same color, stripe, wheels and all
My favorite care ever.
I had the manual for that. I bought a 67 Mustang and the fella gave me the old FoMoCo manual. (Upgraded to 302) g
seriously awesome car.
It's. One. Nice. Nice. Fine. Car. The. Red. N. Black. Is. Great. A. GREAT. LASSIC.
If I get one I’m gonna pick up my little brother from school in it.
Stock isn't boring jackwagon!
How much do you think this same year car, but convertible & GT,and stock- would sell for in today’s market? Thanks ‼️🇺🇸
Anybody know the wheel and tire sizes on this actual car?
My Father Drove The Same Exact Car!
I love these old cars,66 67,are my favorite cars sharp little ride.
6 ppl are angry because they can't afford a Fairlane GT
Turn headlights horizontal,preview Torino.
This car sell?
Sexiest car ever made
Stock is not boring! tool
I would have a 5-Speed in that car in a week. The next week I'd have a Holley Sniper EFI on it.
And you would a dumb fuck!!!
It came with a 4 on the floor and that's the way that car needs to be setup. It needs the long, hearty gears capable of handling the torque without grenading.
PS- a 5-spd or higher is for hwy cruising. This isn't a road trip car.
